With a mean of λ , the probability mass distribution (pmf) is given by
P(k,\lambda)=\lambda^k*e^(-\lambda)/k!

for &lambda; = 4, and k<2  (i.e. k=0 or 1)

P(k<2, &lambda; )=P(k=1, &lambda; ) + P(k=1, &lambda; )
=4^0*e^(-4)/4!+4^1*e^(-4)/1!
=4^0*e^(-4)/4!+4^1*e^(-4)/1!
=0.01832+0.07326
=0.09158 (to the fifth place of decimal)

Note: Poisson processes have no memory, so 2 calls in first hour has the same probability as 2 calls in any other hour.

6. Find the function with x-intercepts (-3,0) and (5,0), which also goes through the point (1,8)
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

This function has two roots:  -3 and 5.  Most likely it is a quadratic (all of which have two roots).

Then f(x) = a(x + 3)(x - 5)

The graph goes through (1. 8):  Therefore, y = 8 when x = 1:

f(1) = a(1 + 3)(1 - 5) = 8, or

        a(4)(-4) = 8, or

            -16a = 8, which leads to a = -1/2.

Thus the quadratic in question is f(x) = (-1/2)(x + 3)(x - 5), or

                                                        f(x) = (-1/2)(x^2 + 8x - 15)

13. Suppose a real estate agent receives 5%
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Commision may be defined as a percentage cut which an employee, broker, vendor, retailer or other persons within a sale chain receive from an employer or production firm for selling a good or offering a successful service based on agreed terms by both parties. ;

$18700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Commision pattern :

5% on first $200,000

6% on remaining amount

Amount of commission on $345000

0.05 * 200000 = 10,000

0.06 * (345000 - 200000) = 8700

Total commission :

10,000 + 8700 = 18,700
